Again, Angry Corp Members Send Strong Message As Tinubu’s Govt Fails to Pay N77,000 AllowanceSource: TwitterCorp members express tiredness over FG’s failed promisesThe N33,000 is not enough for us. The PPA where we are posted doesnt provide accommodation, so we have to cover that ourselves. The economic situation of the country is not new to anybody. Feeding is another issue in an unfamiliar place. Its nearly impossible to survive on N33,000 a month. PPAs dont pay well; some pay as little as N4,000. Imagine surviving on N37,000 a month. Things are very expensive. I havent even included transportation costs. The government keeps promising and failing us. This is very bad,” she said.Corp members decry high cost of spending The Federal Government should do something; this N33,000 is insufficient. After calculating my expenses, I see that I spend over N70,000 a month. Transportation alone takes over N12,000 monthly, excluding the days I go for CDS. I had to call my mother to ask for support because this monthly allowance is inadequate. One cannot survive on this unless one is ready to suffer, she said. I dont know how they expect us to survive on N33,000 when there is so much hardship. They keep promising N77,000, yet we have not seen anything, she said.
